So you want to tag, message and poke on the move eh? You’ve come to the right place. The Nokia N97 comes pre-packed with everything you need to tap into Facebook on the go. Read on, watch our tutorial, and we’ll show you how to become a social media maven on the move!
Log in and start networking!
The best feature of the N97 for Facebook fans is its keyboard. It’s large, roomy, but slides out of sight whenever it’s not in use. It’s big enough to make typing on the go a doddle, and signing into Facebook, even typing fiddly e-mail addresses, is a breeze.
Once you’re signed in you’ll find the N97’s HSDPA technology kicks in, downloading photos messages and status updates at blistering speed. And then there’s that large touchscreen.
Nokia has built kinetic scrolling into the N97, letting you flick through updates from friends at speed. Just drag your finger up or down, and your friends’ latest activities will glide by.
Vodafone gives customers free Facebook access
Start sharing straight away!
Facebook is all about showing your friends what you’re doing. The Nokia N97 is completely geared up for that. Tap the camera icon at the top of any screen within the Facebook app and you’ll be able to upload existing photos, or take a fresh one straight from the camera!
Once you’ve snapped your photo, just choose an album to upload it to and the N97 will do the rest. Uploading takes just a few seconds using a 3G connection, and is even quicker if you use Wi-Fi.
As soon as you’ve uploaded a photo, you’re free to make comments on it. Of course, you can also comment on anyone else’s photos too. Just tap the green comment icon, and start typing.
Message and poke on the move!
Facebook’s simple address book makes sending messages an absolute breeze. Just start typing the recipient’s name, and the N97’s Facebook app will try to find them. You’ll see everyone who matches the first few letters straight away, so choosing them is as simple as tapping their name.
The N97’s keyboard makes sending lengthy messages super simple, and because the screen is so large you needn’t worry about cramming it all in either.
And then there’s Facebook’s signature poking ability. The N97’s Facebook app lets you instantly see who’s been poking you, and poke them right back wherever you are!
Grab numbers from Facebook’s Phonebook
It’s easy to forget, but Facebook has its own phonebook. Whenever your contacts add their phone number to their profile, it’s instantly available to all their friends.
That means no more worrying you have their old number, or wondering if it’s their work phone or private number. Just look them up, tap the phone icon next to their name and give them a call.
Install the Facebook widget for instant updates
The N97 has a unique Facebook widget. Install it to the homescreen and you’ll get instant updates from all your friends.
It’s simple to add, and works away quietly in the background. Whenever your buddies change their status, you’ll see it instantly and without diving into the full app.
And if you want more detail? Just tap the widget and you’ll get one-touch access to all the latest from your friends, including their photos and, of course, your messages!
